PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2 16-Ch Digital Mixer 16 x 2

The new StudioLive 16.0.2 delivers the same basic technology at a stunningly low price— and adds MIDI control! You might not need oodles of mixer inputs and subgroup buses if you’re playing in a garage band or operating a modest home studio, a small school theater, or a coffeehouse. Ditto if you’re renting a mixer for a hotel presentation or panel discussion. And you shouldn’t have to pay for features you don’t need. But of course, everyone wants a mixer with great audio quality, and it’s a tremendous advantage to have quality onboard dynamics processing and EQ. Meet the StudioLive 16.0.2! The compact, 16-channel StudioLive 16.0.2 offers 8 mono input channels and 4 stereo channels, 60 mm faders (the 16.4.2 and 24.4.2 have 100 mm faders), and 4 aux buses.

But don’t let its size fool you; the 16.0.2 is jam-packed with features and processing power, employs the same workflow and easy-to-use mixing surface design as the bigger boards, and sounds every bit as good, with the same high-definition digital converters and 12 XMAX™ Class A solid-state mic preamps. The 16.0.2 integrates a 16x16 FireWire interface and comes with Capture, Studio One Artist, and Virtual StudioLive, and it works great with our free SL Remote iPad control app. Its Fat Channel is well stocked with compressors, limiters, expanders, phase reverse, high-pass filters, and 3-band semiparametric EQ, and two stereo, 32-bit floating-point effects processors deliver the same great delay and reverb effects you’ll find in the 16.4.2 and 24.4.2.

Moreover, a glance at the rear panel reveals that "Junior" offers something the two bigger boards don’t: MIDI In and Out. You can recall Scenes from a DAW using MIDI Program Changes, control the main output volume and effects level,and even mute effects between songs— all thanks to the magic of MIDI control. Did we mention that you get all this for a stunningly low price? That is an understatement!

Our StudioLive™ 24.4.2 and 16.4.2 changed the game, offering amazing performance and ease of use for a great price. Now we’ve packed the same audio quality, performance, seamlessly integrated software (including remote control) into a smaller, even more affordable package. Small size. Bigger possibilities. In a "footprint" of less than 2 square feet (0.19 m2), the compact, 16-channel StudioLive 16.0.2 offers 8 mono input channels and 4 stereo channels and provides 12 XMAX™ Class A solid-state mic preamps. (Well, okay, it actually has 13 XMAX preamps; the Talkback input has one, too.)

The 16.0.2 integrates a 16x16 FireWire interface and comes with Capture™, Studio One Artist™ recording and production software, and Virtual StudioLive, bidirectional control software, and it works great with our free SL Remote iPad and iPhone control apps.

Moreover, a glance at the rear panel reveals that "Junior" offers something the two bigger boards don't: MIDI In and Out. You can recall Scenes from a DAW using MIDI Program Changes, control the main output volume and effects level, and even mute effects between songs—all thanks to the magic of MIDI control.

Two factors work against getting that Perfect Mix with an analog mixer. First, the Perfect Mix can be hard to reproduce a week, day, or hour after you perfect it. And second, a good mix should be dynamic: levels, effects, and EQ should be tailored to each song or segment of the show, service, or presentation. StudioLive solves this problem by letting you save all of your digital settings for quick setup and recall.
